Have a '08 just about to go off lease- you could get a good deal... 
It's my wife's car and she loves it. 6 speed manual- problems: ****ty mileage and a small gas tank- you're filling up all the time. Needs a 7th gear when cruising on the highway. Otherwise a great car. The top would worry me out of warranty but sure is easy to operate and quiet when up.
Once I figured out I-drive, I kind of like it. My "kids" love it.
Best steering wheel of any car I have- very thick, great deviated stitching, etc

worked for bwm so i'll throw some useful info out there
1: it's 3900 as a convertible, 3675 base hardtop
2: chassis stays firmer over time if it's driven the top down more often
3: get a paddle shift, the e9x m3 dct is pretty good nothing like the smg of the e46
4: when milage hit 59k, do maintance and sell it
5: or spend the 2500 on the extended warrenty, with M's when **** goes wrong outside a warrenty it gets expensive real quick
6: if it's going to be used at a track, upgrade the brakes
7: most important with the M3 Convterible....enjoy it
